That would mean missing the annual Late Late Toy Show thread.

Not a chance.

I have also entered.... Anybody know anyone who has even been to the Toy Show? I don't think I do.

Expected numbers applying: 150,000

Numbers applied so far: 80,000 +

Number of seats available: 200.

I assume everyone will look for the max 2 tickets per application so that's 100 2-seat options available- so your odds are 1500/1

if the 150,000 are made up of both people applying for the tickets, then 2 chances @ 1500/1

Best of luck

The Billy Barrie Kids were THE child entertainers on the Toy Show

This Toy Show from Tubridy will be the only one from now on.

TV3 have pulled their version off the air because of low advertising revenue.

So that's the competition gone

I think calling them competition is being generous

They got the elbow for Twink's shower, up until Twink's drama school went belly up, then the Billie Barrie's were asked back.
It's such a closed shop that place.

The toy show hasnt been worth watching for 30 years.

When do they let people know if they are successful with tickets or not? I’d assume I’d have heard by now if I was gettin then?!

Yep I think it's usually no later than the Monday before the show. So our chance has come and gone.

CastorTroy

And got an email saying just that.

Thank you for your interest in The Late Late Toy Show tickets!

Tickets have been filled, and invited audience members have been contacted...but that doesn't mean they'll have all the fun! Check out our Late Late Toy Show sneak preview to get in the Toy Show spririt, and join us this Friday on RTÉ One or RTÉ Player at 9:35 pm to watch the most anticipated Christmas special of the year

Though wait! They said the members have been contacted and thenh they contact me...so does that mean I'm one of the invited? Am I in denial?

The one reason to pay the TV license to RTE is almost upon us :P

Kicking this thread off to ask what are your fond memories of the show? Asking kids to review things is usually amusing - 10/10s for many things or very harsh docking of points.

But this gem was posted over in the Gaming forum too. So much cringe!

The Late Late Toy Show on RTÉ One at 9.35pm on Friday, December 1. Have the hot chocolate and sweet tins ready!

Dustin to gatecrash and declare his interest in running for President next year.

Jesus, I can't even bear to watch the Lara Croft video. It was bad enough the first time all those years ago.

Welsh Megaman

Ryan On Morning Ireland just now, hinting at a Little Mermaid ‘Under The Sea’ theme.

And it's official now:

Would it hurt them to have a Christmas theme for a change?

Mr E

That RTE player is going to crash so hard, there'll be smoke coming out of the server (and subsequently out of Twitter from ex-pats).

Nothing says Christmas quite like The Little Mermaid.

It might hurt them financially. Presumably they are not promoting Disney for free.

Loblox

Because when I hear "Christmas in Ireland," I think "The Little Mermaid."

Some preview pics of the set...

Big excitement among my kids about watching this tonight.

I used to enjoy it, but it's more a talent show now than a toy show, which is disappointing.

Disney also have Christmas themed franchises. Sponsor one of them. Or get an alternative sponsor who has product placement in a Christmas themed set.

Arghus

A theme? About that well known Christmas Classic A Little Mermaid? I know the toy show is totally about commercialised nonsense at the best of times, but I hope they haven't sold out utterly and totally this year.

freshpopcorn

Might the special guest be David Attenborough?

Ol' Donie

Dunno. Remember that time the "soundest man in pop" Ed Sheeran kindly and selflessly turned up to give a fan a couple of tickets or something?

Such a shame he was so busy that the only fan he could find time to do this for was the one on the most watched TV show of the year. The sweetheart.

RobertKK

For those who enjoy the Toy show, enjoy.

Not my cup of tea, though.

Hey none of that now! Ed is so sound that we can all overlook his utterly atrocious music and omnipresence in our lives - in fact, we have a duty too!

Even my young kids said last year during it,

And on more than one occasion.
